A company is building a shopping application on AWS.

To ensure that the shopping cart data is preserved at all times, a solutions architect should configure Amazon ElastiCache for Redis to cache catalog data from Amazon DynamoDB and shopping cart data from the user’s session. This solution has the following benefits:

It offers the lowest possible latency from the application, as ElastiCache for Redis is a blazing fast in-memory data store that provides sub-millisecond latency to power internet-scale real-time applications1.

It scales with traffic volume, as ElastiCache for Redis supports horizontal scaling by adding more nodes or shards to the cluster, and vertical scaling by changing the node type2.

It ishighly available, as ElastiCache for Redis supports replication across multiple Availability Zones and automatic failover in case of a primary node failure3.

It preserves user session data even if the user is disconnected and reconnects, as ElastiCache for Redis can store session data, such as user login information and shopping cart contents, in a persistent and durable manner using snapshots or AOF (append-only file) persistence4.
